I saw that too! It is a pretty dress, and if I thought I'd ever have somewhere to wear it, I'd gather my funds together and buy it. But I just don't think I ever would. It is closer to being a Pre-Raphaelite gown than the other one they used to sell.

I wonder if you've seen the gown that the company Pyramid Collection has in their catalog, that they're calling a Regency gown, but that to my eye, would also well suit an Aesthetic maid. It's in a lovely creamy brocade, and I'm very tempted. It's much less expensive, for one thing!

The Beautiful Necessity

This blog is devoted to all things Pre-Raphaelite and Arts & Crafts. The two movements began during the Victorian era, and celebrated a return to the aesthetics and simplicity of medieval times, as well as the romance of nature and chivalry.

The central tenets of the two movements are still very important today, perhaps even more so.
